Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

In addition, Ya Ya's physical condition was already very strained after being hit by the high-speed star, so these two seemingly insignificant little short legs tripped Ya Ya and made her fall to the ground on the spot.

After a series of inexplicable yet plausible "accidents," the once aggressive Ya Ya became the one at the mercy of others.

At this moment, everyone, including the trainers from both sides, stared in disbelief at the little Eevee on the field, who seemed unaware of what was happening and was making incoherent noises because of the pain in its legs.

Those viewers who couldn't bear to see the result just now had their lips twitching slightly, and their inner thoughts were just one big "Holy crap!"

Is this even possible?

What incredible luck Ibrahimovic had!

Chapter 16 I defeated Yulongdu's uncle?

"Ibu, now's your chance, Swift Strike!"

Xia Chen, focused on the battle, was the first to react on the field.

Although he couldn't understand how the situation had suddenly reversed in the blink of an eye, it didn't stop him from faithfully fulfilling his duties as a trainer.

"Buyi!"

Ibrahimovic then seemed to "wake up from a dream" and reacted, then charged up his high-speed star again.

"YaYa, stand up!"

Yu Longtao then realized what was happening, but Ya Ya was tripped solidly at high speed, and at this point, he had no other choice but to use Rejuvenation Roar.

"tooth"

While still conscious, Axew heard its trainer's command and tried to get up to fight back, but its body could only say no.

Staggering, he still couldn't respond to the trainer's deeply emotional Rejuvenation Roar.

On the other side, despite his leg injury, Eevee didn't even need to aim too much for a long-range, guaranteed-hit move like Swift. He simply laid on his side on the ground and released Swift.

Another, not-so-loud explosion rang out, but this time, Ya Ya was unable to get up again and completely lost her ability to fight.

"Bubu-ee? (I...I won?)"

Ibrahimovic stared blankly at the unconscious Axew, looking utterly incredulous at his own victory over his opponent.

There was complete silence on and off the field. No one had yet been able to process how Ibrahimovic had won the match in such an unbelievable way.

Is this reasonable?

"What's unreasonable about this? I've seen even more outrageous battle results. It just goes to show that anything can happen on the battlefield."

"Is it just that Aya's luck is really bad, or that Eevee's luck is just too good?"

Some spirits fight with strength, while others fight with their lifespan.

"Let's go, it's all over, let's go take a look over there."

…………

The city park is never short of battles. Although this battle was quite exciting and dramatic, people slowly dispersed after exchanging a few words.

Seeing that the battle was over, Xia Chen rushed to the field and anxiously picked up Eevee, who was limping and struggling to get up.

"Ibrahimovic, how's your leg?"

"Buyi."

Ibrahimovic shook his head, then raised his two still-movable legs and pointed at Yaya lying on the ground, his face beaming with undisguised joy.

"Alright, I know you won." Xia Chen praised Ibu with a wry smile.

Although the victory was a bit far-fetched, who cares?

So, tell me, did you win?

Xia Chen didn't say anything like "don't be proud" or "this time it was just good luck." His philosophy towards elves wasn't utilitarian.

Anyway, my goal is just to become a casual restaurant owner.

On the other side, Yu Longtao recalled Axew with a Poké Ball, looked at Xia Chen and Eevee who were celebrating their first battle victory, pondered for two seconds, and then walked over.

"Congratulations to you and Eevee! Shall we go together to heal the Pokémon's wounds?"

"Okay, but I need to go see a friend first." Xia Chen had a good impression of Yu Longtao, so he readily agreed.

Carrying Eevee back, Xia Chen saw Mingyi and Snivy. It seemed that Snivy had never lost before, and the two of them were about to start their next battle.

When Mingyi saw that Xia Chen's new friend was a boy, she waved her hand and declined his invitation, then turned around and threw herself into the battle.

…………

A Pokémon Center has been set up inside this park, which is regarded as a battleground by local residents.

After Xia Chen and Yu Longtao handed their Pokémon over to Miss Joy, they sat in the lounge area of ​​the hall and chatted.

They naturally talked about the Pokémon battle they had just fought.

"Your command and Ibrahimovic's performance were truly brilliant. I've learned a lot," Yu Longtao sincerely praised.

"To be honest, there was a bit of luck involved," Xia Chen replied modestly.

Xia Chen knew his own limitations and those of Ibrahimovic, and he didn't get carried away just because his opponent praised him a couple of times.

The red-haired boy smiled and shook his head slightly. "A loss is a loss. There's no such thing as luck."

Xia Chen shrugged and didn't argue. The other party wanted to use the defeat to spur himself on, but he genuinely felt that luck played a large part in winning this battle, so there was nothing to argue about.

"Oh, right, this is what I lost to you in the battle just now." Yu Longtao took a small bead from his pocket and handed it to Xia Chen.

In open-world battles, it's a universally accepted rule that the loser must give the winner money or items.

The amount of gold coins lost is determined by prior agreement between the two parties, or by the losing party's own decision.

The two hadn't made any prior arrangements before the battle, so Yu Longtao simply took out this bead that he didn't know what it was.

Xia Chen didn't refuse and naturally took it, asking casually, "What is this thing?"

Yu Longtao casually replied, "I didn't bring anything else with me. This is a Dragon Gem used to nurture Ya Ya. Most of the energy inside has been absorbed, so it's not worth much."

Xia Chen: "."

You're saying that a pet item worth at least tens of thousands isn't worth much?

There must be something wrong between the two of us, right?

Is this the legendary Dragon-Riding Clan?

Some people are truly born in Rome.

Xia Chen was impressed by the other party's wealth and power, but he didn't return the money. After all, he had won it fair and square, and if he returned it, others would think he looked down on him.

…………

They put away the Dragon Gem and continued chatting while waiting for the spirit to heal them.

Xia Chen asked curiously, "Isn't your Dragon Taming Clan active in the Guandu and Chengdu regions? What are you doing here?"

Yu Longtao shrugged. "The main clan is indeed in Yanmo City in the Chengdu region, but over the years the Yu Long clan has spread out. My mother married here, and I grew up in Donghuang."

"Hey, do you know the Dodo bird?" Xia Chen's gossipy nature got the better of him, and he naturally started talking about the Dodo bird.

"Yes, I know him. In terms of family relationships, he's my nephew?" Yu Longtao replied uncertainly, recalling the intricate network of kinship ties.

"But how do you know him? He's an investigator in the Kanto region."

Xia Chen was taken aback, only then realizing that the Dodo Bird had not yet ascended to the champion's throne and did not have the same level of fame as in the game in his previous life.

"Haha, I'd heard before that he really liked Flying-type Pokémon, so I had a vague recollection of him."

Yu Longtao smiled upon hearing this, "He is indeed an anomaly in our family, but don't underestimate him. He is one of the best of this generation. If nothing unexpected happens, he has a very good chance of winning the next Heavenly King Tournament."

Xia Chen was just joking around. How could a newbie who hadn't even left the beginner's village look down on someone who was bound to be at the forefront of the times? He would just make a few jokes and then move on.

"Numbers 133 and 134, your Pokémon have been healed!"

Miss Joy's melodious voice came from behind them, and the two stopped chatting to retrieve their respective Pokémon.

"Let's exchange contact information. Maybe we can have a friendly spar sometime in the future?"

Before parting, Yu Longtao took the initiative to strike up a conversation. They had just had a pleasant chat, and Xia Chen naturally wouldn't refuse this young man with a strong background and great potential.

After exchanging contact information, the two parted ways at the entrance of the Pokémon Center.

Chapter 17 I, Ibu, have truly worried myself sick over this family.

"August 17, sunny"

"On the fourteenth day after I found Eevee, the Dragon Gem that Yu Longtao lost to me last time was finally put up for sale. I didn't expect that this second-hand item could still sell for 50,000. No wonder he is a rich young master of the Yu Long family."

"My uncle finally sent the money a few days ago, but last month the videos only got around 200,000 to 300,000 views, so it wasn't much money. This month, Xiaogang has brought me a big boost, so the future looks promising!"

"The number of fans has exceeded 200,000. Although the number of views for each video is not as high as that one, it is still almost twice as high as the previous ones. However, if we keep making this kind of video, not to mention whether the audience will get tired of it, we will eventually run out of material. We need to think of a way to find new approaches."

"Eevee's training is going very smoothly. It has learned Self-Motivation and Echo, and its performance on the trainer has also improved significantly. However, there is still no progress in learning Mammoth, probably because the Fairy-type energy is insufficient."

"I glanced at the prices of fairy gems, and the cheapest ones start at 200,000. Damn it, are these gems made of gold? I'll hold a grudge. I'm going to start my own company someday. I'm not looking anymore, it's infuriating!"

"Just kidding. I'm definitely getting one when I get paid next month. I can't let Eevee suffer, no matter how tough things are! Seriously, being a trainer is no easy task."

…………

Xia Chen put away his diary and leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.

Being a trainer is a bottomless pit; no matter how much money you earn, it's never enough to spend.

In just the past two weeks, I've already spent over 100,000 on Eevee, although apart from Fairy Gems, there haven't been any other major expenses since then.

But we'll need to continue training them in the future, not to mention we'll definitely need to train other Pokémon in the future.

As the saying goes, "open source and reduce expenditure," but expenditure can't be reduced, so we still need to find a way to open up new sources. Making money solely by making videos is ultimately too slow.

Let's recall the path to wealth taken by our predecessors who were time travelers.

Making games?

I don't have the start-up capital or the technology.

Copying songs and movies?
